Candle on the Water Songtext
von Okkervil River

I′ll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don′t give up, you have somewhere to turn

I'll be your candle on the water
Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright
My soul is there beside you
Let the candle guide you
Soon you′ll feel a golden way of light


A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don′t let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a halo all around you
Circling in the air
Lighted by a prayer

I′ll be your candle on the water
This flame inside of me will grow
Keep holding on, you can make it
Here's my hand, so take it
Look for me, reaching out to show
As sure as rivers flow
I′ll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I′ll never let you go
I'll never let you go
